Shoosmiths events are more than just a peek behind the curtain. They're an opportunity to meet the people behind the firm, hear about our careers and ask the questions that matter most to you.

Whether you join us online, visit us on campus or meet us at an event, there's a good chance you'll get to know the Emerging Talent team below. We're passionate about helping aspiring lawyers explore their options, navigate the profession and find the path that's right for you.

These events are designed to give you a genuine insight into life at Shoosmiths, from the work we do and the clients we support to the culture, people and values that shape our firm.

If you have a question about careers at Shoosmiths, no matter how big or small, we're here to help. Whether you're emailing us at joinus@shoosmiths.com or sending us a DM on Instagram, we'll always do our best to point you in the right direction.

Join us for an honest, unscripted look at life at Shoosmiths. You’ll hear directly from our trainees, associates, and partners as they share their personal journeys, challenges, and what truly sets us apart. This is a real insight into a culture where people are trusted, supported, and encouraged to grow.

You’ll discover how our values come to life in everything we do, from advancing social mobility and sustainability to building meaningful relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

Wondering what we’re really like on a Monday morning? Curious about career paths, applications, or what we look for in future trainees (hint: it’s not just about grades)? Ask anything - this is your space.

Because choosing a law firm isn’t just about prestige or practice areas. It’s about people, purpose and your potential. Insight events are your chance to see all of that in action and to find out whether we're the one for you.

We host insight evenings throughout the year in our own offices, and also partner with a range of organisations to offer additional virtual and in-person events.
